Ashton to Yellowstone

Sunday we left Ashton, ID and headed to Yellowstone NP via the West Yellowstone entrance. I think this Campanula is C. rotundifolia. It was one of the most prolific blooms throughout the park. (along with the Asters.)
Once we got into the park, we pulled off at the trailhead for Harlequin Lake to stretch our legs. An Osprey was calling from a nest along the Madison River. I was excited for wildlife, so I was scanning everything with my binoculars, when I looked at the dark green bulrush patch in the center of the picture.
Amazingly, two moose (calves?) were hiding in the bulrushes. Their flicking ears caught my attention first. One raised its head up for a brief moment.
A nice view of Harlequin Lake. No Harlequin Ducks, though, which are supposed to breed at the park.
We took a detour to see Firehole Falls on the Firehole River. Waterfalls were a guaranteed stop on our trip.
A Raven at our picnic spot. The crowds were not bad at Yellowstone. Of course it was busy at the main attractions, but we usually could find a picnic area to ourselves.
